Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) [Dolly] Wells's strength is in her characters. Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Wells's bracingly spiky writing vividly draws both the characters and the connections between them. Rated: 4/5 Oct 6, 2019 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard As it happens, nothing much happens. Wells's film, basically, is missing a middle act. Still, if you're willing to overlook that teeny-tiny flaw, you'll emerge feeling stoked. Rated: 3/5 Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Good Posture doesn't break any new ground, but the performances in the movie are so watchable, that it's an entertaining ride from beginning to end. Jul 11, 2020 Full Review Karen Krizanovich Radio Times It's a crafty comedy, this: a remarkable debut. Rated: 4/5 Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Nick Hasted The Arts Desk It's affectionately told from inside its particular world, admitting absurdities but essentially forgiving. Rated: 3/5 Oct 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Michelle G I really love Emily Mortimer's work, so I really wanted to like this film, but, I have trouble when the main character, in this case, Lillian, isn't at all likeable. Add that there was only 10 minutes left and still no redemption had occurred, which meant that what did take place at the end made little sense and didn't gel with all that had gone before it. I was left feeling a little empty, not certain of the point of the film, and wondering if I'd missed something. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Jim A Couldn’t really stick with it. The protagonist just to unappealing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Sal D Well enough executed story of the awakening of a "lazy oaf." The contrast and interaction between the Lillian and Julia characters, in my mind, needed a little more emphasis to make this film shine more as "Julia" carries the gravitas that would have bumped this up to a 3.5 or 4 star. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Frustrated B, C, D and E plots give birth to a beautifully rounded A plot which reconciles multiple character arcs and then moves on - kinda what would happen if a writer locked themselves away and that chrysalis... oh, right I get it... Dolly Wells' previous work is some sort of pointer to this: she's great and it's great. Yes, they're the indulged meeja creative types in Brooklyn making art about themselves but they don't pretend they aren't, so you can't really throw things at the screen, the privileged oafs. Wonderful soundtrack too, as you'd expect from Wells and Emily Mortimer, which you'd also expect. Zadie Smith's in it and offers the chrysalis metaphor, which is nice. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review nefasto r Cute, but not particularly bold, this simple movie might vary its charm from viewer to viewer, but sure not its "unremarkability". Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Grace patten is on my list of up and coming actresses . This has the feeling of an artsy indie film that will win some type of award . Normally that results in me not enjoying it, but I can get behind this movie . Not particularly my cup of tea but as someone who watches a ton of movies I can appreciate the story and the message behind it . A slacker girl with no parental figures finds a person to look up to in the most unlikely of places. By the end of the movie you can see that she found herself 3.1 . the dynamic between the two lead woman was odd but real . I feel like that’s how it is when you mostly text or write to a person before having a talking relationship Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/18/20 Full Review Read all reviews
